That's why we're making every effort to give you as much control over your bags as possible, short of strapping on a vest and helping the crew load the luggage yourself. From guidelines and fees by country to declaring baggage value and ultimate bag-tracking abilities with the Fly Delta app, here are all the information and tools you need to feel confident about checking in your luggage. Checking In & Paying Online Within 24 hours of your departure, you can tell us how many bags you will check and pay any fees quickly and easily online. That means one less thing you will have to do at the airport. When you arrive at the airport, you can drop off your checked baggage at the nearest baggage drop, marked with red "Baggage Drop" signage, or curbside check-in station (available within 6 hours of departure time). You may also check your bags at the airport kiosk, ticket counter, or curbside; however, please note that higher checked baggage fees may apply if paid at the airport. If your bag exceeds weight or size limits, please review the Additional, Overweight, and Oversized Baggage section. You may also carry on one bag and one small personal item at no charge. Visit our Carry-on Baggage section for more information. More restrictive baggage rules apply on some flights operated by our Codeshare partners. All baggage fees listed below are current and applicable for all ticketing on or after today when Delta's baggage rules are determined to apply. If you ticketed before today, please refer to Delta's previous checked baggage page for more details. You can also refer to your e-Receipt issued by Delta for detailed baggage fee information. NOTE: Please refer to our Codeshare Partners page for information on a specific carrier's baggage policy. Expand All Guidelines & Fees by Country Fees for the first and second checked bags vary based on your flight destination. We've outlined them all here.

  • Airline Passengers and Lighters FAQ's, November 2013
    Airline Passengers and Lighters Frequently Asked Questions The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) enforces the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Hazardous Materials Regulations in aviation. This includes safety rules on how airline passengers can carry lighters. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) enforces security rules about what passengers can carry on the aircraft. The FAA guidance below considers both DOT and TSA rules for passengers carrying lighters. Q1. What type of lighter can I bring onto the aircraft? A1. Under DOT rules (49 CFR 175.10), when traveling on a commercial airline, you can bring one (1) lighter that uses a flammable gas (butane) or that uses a flammable liquid that is absorbed in a lining (Zippo-type). The following restrictions apply: • For safety reasons, permitted lighters must be in your carry-on or on your person (in your pocket), not in checked baggage. See Q2. regarding special travel containers that allow lighters in checked baggage. • Under TSA regulations, torch lighters (a.k.a. jet lighters, blue flame lighters, cigar lighters) are forbidden in your carry-on or on your person. TSA rules also prohibit lighters that look like guns or other weapons. • Containers of lighter fluid or gas (butane) are forbidden in carry-on and checked baggage. • Micro torches, chef torches, utility torches, etc., are not considered lighters and are forbidden in carry-on and checked baggage. Fuel for such torches is also forbidden in carry-on and checked baggage. Q2. Is there any exception to the “one lighter only” rule or the “no torch lighters” rule? A2. You can bring up to two (2) additional lighters—including torch lighters—in your checked baggage when you use DOT-approved airtight travel containers for lighters.

  • Aircraft Accident Report: American Airlines, Inc., Mcdonnell Douglas
    Explosive decompression, American Airlines, Inc., McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10, N103AA, Near Windsor, Ontario, Canada, June 12, 1972 Micro-summary: On climb, this McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10 experienced an opening of a cargo door, explosive decompression, and a main cabin floor collapse, disrupting the flight control system. Event Date: 1972-06-12 at 1925 EST Investigative Body: National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), USA Investigative Body's Web Site: http://www.ntsb.gov/ Cautions: 1. Accident reports can be and sometimes are revised. Be sure to consult the investigative agency for the latest version before basing anything significant on content (e.g., thesis, research, etc). 2. Readers are advised that each report is a glimpse of events at specific points in time. While broad themes permeate the causal events leading up to crashes, and we can learn from those, the specific regulatory and technological environments can and do change. Your company's flight operations manual is the final authority as to the safe operation of your aircraft! 3. Reports may or may not represent reality. Many many non-scientific factors go into an investigation, including the magnitude of the event, the experience of the investigator, the political climate, relationship with the regulatory authority, technological and recovery capabilities, etc. It is recommended that the reader review all reports analytically. Even a "bad" report can be a very useful launching point for learning. 4. Contact us before reproducing or redistributing a report from this anthology. Individual countries have very differing views on copyright! We can advise you on the steps to follow.

  • The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Published Draft Advisory Circular (AC) 120-27F “Aircraft Weight & Balance Control” for Comment on November 7, 2013
    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published draft Advisory Circular (AC) 120-27F “Aircraft Weight & Balance Control” for comment on November 7, 2013. We, the Society of Allied Weight Engineers (SAWE), are volunteering to lead an industry solution in the establishment of standard crew, passenger, and baggage weights, and respectfully submit the following comments. The SAWE goals are to promote mass properties engineering as a specialized discipline and to provide a means for those interested in mass properties engineering to collectively further their professional goals. Since its inception in 1939, the SAWE has grown to include 22 chapters located in the United States, Canada, Central Europe, and the United Kingdom and has members from over 22 countries. The Society promotes technical interchange between its members through international and regional conferences, the Weight Engineering Journal, specialized training, technical papers and a growing number of professional publications. Discussion and feedback on draft AC120-27F For the past 46 years the FAA has taken the lead in the establishment of standard weights for passengers and baggage and documented this data in AC120-27. As currently proposed, Revision F has removed the standard weights option and allows only a survey based compliance option of weight establishment. The SAWE believes that departing from this long standing approach should proceed with great deliberation and significant consideration. If the FAA wants to relinquish the responsibility for maintaining a standard weight for passengers and baggage, a carefully established alternate plan must be implemented that includes and considers: 1) The appropriate representative weights for crew, passenger, and baggage. 2) Endorsement by aircraft regulators, operators, and manufacturers.
